SRE in schools should be renamed Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) in a bid to emphasise to students the importance of the relationships element.
The call is among a number of recommendations made after an inquiry by the Education Select Committee into PSHE and Sex and Relationships Education (SRE).
Coverage of the committee’s report in the mainstream media last week focused largely on the call for SRE to be made statutory.
However, the report contains a raft of further recommendations for the government. These include:
Requiring schools to run regular consultation with parents on SRE provision.
Retaining the parental right to withdraw their child from elements of SRE.
